Young People Hate the Radio

Do you ever feel like making friends as an adult is weirdly hard? Or wake up some days thinking, “What is going on!?” Maybe wonder if homeownership is just a group hallucination?

Well… same. If any of this sounds familiar, this night is for you.

Join Connecticut Public on February 12, 2026 at 6:30 PM for a Palentine’s Day hang designed to bring public-media lovers together and celebrate the launch of our brand-new social VLOG series, Young People Hate the Radio. The series follows our hosts (and our audience) as we figure out adulthood in real time — navigating uncertainty, ambition, relationships, money, confidence, and all the in-between moments of modern life.

Meet the Connecticut Public social team: Ayannah Brown, Francesca Fontanez, Janae Spinato, and Martha Castillo, plus a few very special friends of the show. Expect good vibes, real conversations, and a room full of people who get it. Come connect, commiserate, laugh, and maybe make a new friend or two.

Portions of this event will be recorded and photographed. By registering for and attending this event, you give Connecticut Public authorization to use your image with any reproduction, distribution and broadcast of the event and for marketing purposes.

Arrive, get settled, and start mixing and mingling with like-minded people. Enjoy a thoughtfully designed icebreaker along with Valentine’s cookies and milk. Cozy vibes encouraged.
